N4A founder Becky Tinsley has written a novel, When the Stars Fall to Earth, about the ongoing genocide in Darfur. The novel follows five young Darfuri refugees on their journey of survival as the Sudanese regime tries to destroy them. Becky recently spoke with Psychology Today blogger Jennifer Haupt, about the book. Jennifer asked Becky the question that is bound to be on the minds of many of the novel’s readers: How closely are the five main characters based on real young people you met?
100% of Becky’s profits from the book will be donated to Network for Africa, to help support genocide survivors working to build better lives for themselves and their families.
If you are in the Washington, D.C., area, you can join a book discussion with Becky Tinsley tomorrow, Wednesday, May 24, from 12:30 - 2:00pm at the American Bar Association, 740 15th Street NW, John Marshall Conference Room, Washington, D.C.
